This easy recipe intentionally omits sugar and salt and get its sweetness from the ice cream. There is also no need to peel the apples, especially if they are organic.

4 or 5 Granny Smith apples, cored, cut into medium size chunks
1 c  cranberries (or more if you love the tartness of cranberries) fresh or dried

Ingredients for the topping

1   c  pecans or walnuts, coarsely chopped
½ c all purpose flour
½ c rolled oats
¼ t ground cinnamon
¼ t ground ginger
4    T unsalted butter, melted
      Vanilla ice cream

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Core and cut the apples as directed above.
3. Combine all the topping ingredients in a large bowl, add the melted butter and mix until a crumbly consistency.
4. Place the apples, cranberries and the topping in an 8 x 8 inch or slightly larger ungreased baking pan.
5. Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil and place in the oven to bake for about 35-40 minutes or until the apples are soft.
6. Remove aluminum foil and leave in the oven for another 20 minutes or until lightly brown.
7. Remove from oven and cool. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
